[Psidev-ms-dev] HUPO PSI specification: MAGETAB and SDRF for Proteomics - 60-day public review

[Sylvie R. <syl...@un...>]

Dear colleague, dear member of the Proteomics community,

The HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) develops standards for 
documentation and storage of Proteomics data (see http://www.psidev.info 
for an overview of PSI activities).

The PSI Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Informatics Working Groups have 
submitted to the PSI document process a document presenting a 
specification for a sample metadata annotation of proteomics 
experiments. The document is entitled “MAGE-TAB Proteomics: Sample and 
Data Relationship Format (SDRF) for Proteomics” version 1.0.
After having passed a 30-day review of the PSI steering group and being 
revised, the proposed document now goes through 60-day public comments 
and external review phase until June 30, 2021.

- The .docx file " is attached to this e-mail.
- Further detailed information, including any updates to this document, 
implementations, and examples is available at 
https://github.com/bigbio/proteomics-metadata-standard.
- The PSI web page for the document is 
https://www.psidev.info/magetab-and-sdrf-proteomics

This message is to encourage you to contribute to the standards 
development activity by commenting on the document. We invite both 
positive and negative comments on the relevance, correctness, clarity 
and appropriateness of the specification (e.g. is it presented in 
accordance with the templates and clearly written, is it sufficiently 
detailed and comprehensively described and are the examples in agreement 
with the specification?). Comments can be made on the specification as a 
whole or on specific parts.

If you do not feel experienced enough to comment on this document, but 
know colleagues who are, please feel free to forward this message to 
them. There is no requirement that people commenting should have had any 
prior contact with the PSI.

*Please send comments by e-mail directly to 
syl...@un... before June 30, 2021.*

Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help.

Kind regards.
